A Righteous Branch Jeremiah 33:14-16 12-04-2022 Advent I didn’t grow up with advent like many of you did. In fact, for years after working retail at Christmastime, I was a pretty big Scrooge.

The Righteous Rejoice.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 19, 2023

When believers rejoice, we rejoice in the LORD. Praise is an appropriate response for what God has done for us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

THE RIGHTEOUS REJOICE. Psalm 33:1. “Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright” (Psalm 33:1). We see first of all the exhortation: “Rejoice in the LORD” (cf.

The Righteous Brach Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 24, 2022

The Old Testament prophets used the imagery of a stump as a prophetic promise. Jesus Christ is Lord our Righteousness and he came to save sinners. Jesus takes our punishment and becomes the LORD Our Righteousness, (‘Jehovah-tsidkenu).

What do you think of when you see a tree stump? Well, for one thing you probably think that tree has seen better days. The glory days for that tree that is now just a stump lie in the past not the future. You would probably not look at that stump and think that great and wonderful days of fruitful ...read more

The Prosperity Of The Righteous

Contributed by Darren Felarise on Sep 11, 2022

Sometimes we see the ungodly prosper. Especially in the days in which we live. However, the psalmist admonishes us not to be envious of them.

Ps 37:1-5 7 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight ...read more

The Cry Of The Righteous

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 28, 2022

Suppose some people came to your home and asked you to do them a favor. And suppose they came for the next four weeks doing exactly the same thing.

If you are like me, and I believe that you are, somewhere during those four weeks you would reach the place where you would turn to that person and say, "No, I cannot help you, I have done everything I can do. I can do no more." But, so we ask God for His help from morning till ...read more

Righteous Inclusion

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 25, 2019

Some people ought to be excluded, in prison, deported, disqualified from leading a church, and quarantined in sickness. However, other people are marginalized unjustly. Let's see what Jesus taught about righteous inclusion in Luke 14:1-14.

No Rest For The Righteous Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

No one takes this literally and tries to stay awake 24 hours a day. What Paul means, he does mean very literally, and that is that the Christian must be always wide awake in his relationship to Christ. We must at all times, and in all places, be conscious that we are Christians

While I was visiting in the hospital one of the workers came in and a patient said, “Are you still working?” “Yes,” she said, “No rest for the wicked, and I guess I am awfully wicked.” We have all heard this at some time or another, but the thought came to me that it is ridiculous to apply that ...read more

Declared Righteous

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 16, 2021

God's Word teaches that through what Jesus did for us on the cross, He will not give us what we deserve – that’s mercy. In addition, God is willing to give us exactly what we don’t deserve – that is called grace.

Alba 8-15-2021 Declared Righteous Romans 3:27-31 We come together today sharing the grief we have as a church family. This is a time of deep sadness for us all.

More Righteous Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 16, 2024

Why would Jesus seemingly praise the Pharisees saying our righteousness should exceed theirs? Why would I need to compare my righteousness to that of men that Jesus despised?

A man was telling about being a student at the University of Southern California, and he and his friends worked hard to earn their PhDs, because they wanted to be would allowed to hold the coveted title of “doctor”. Then, one day one of their professors told about a friend of his who’d called his ...read more

Righteous By Faith

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 14, 2017

Ask yourself, “Am I righteous?” Few people would answer with an unqualified “yes.” But if your answer is “yes,” and you believe that you are righteous through unblemished right living, I hope to show you righteousness lies elsewhere.
